love day #9

Deuteronomy 6:5
"You shall love the Lord you God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might."
.
I think this is a great verse to share today because so often we fail to love God wholeheartedly.  So many little "things" sometimes block us from completely loving God with ALL of our beings.  I think that its important for us as believers to periodically do an inventory of our own lives and see if we are truly obeying this verse by loving God completely.  Upon careful inspection of my own life, I see things that distract me from loving God to my fullest.  It is my responsibility to rearrange these things in my life so that God comes first and foremost.  That I love Him completely before I like anything here on earth. Also, my Bible contains notes/comments at the bottom of the page.  For this verse one of the comments reads, "Since this relationship of love for God could not be represented in any material way as with idols, it had to be demonstrated in obedience to God's law in daily life."  
Show whole hearted love for God in daily obedience.  Love Him first. Love Him completely.
